T ALL WHOM IT MAY CON CERN:

Be it known that I, JOHN HL, oi' 61 School street, Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of, New York, have invented a new'and improved Saw-Set; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enuble others skilled i`n the art to make' and use the same, reference being had to the accompanyihgdrawngs, forming a part of this specification. i

Figure 1 represents aside elevation, partly in section, of my improved sow-set.

' Figure 2 is a plan or top view, partly in section, of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts. I

This invention relates to a new saw-set, which is of very simple construction, and which can be adjustedv to any-sized saw or shaped tooth.

It consists of a block, to be fastened in suitable manner to any table or other support, said block being provided with an adjustable-rest for the saw, with a sliding, adjustable abutting plate, whereby the length of tooth to be set is regulated with a screw, which has a' conical bead for guiding narrow-saws, with a removable anvil, and with a punch, 'which has a series o'projeeting ribs of diilerent widths, eitherof which can be used, according to the width of the tooth t6 be set.

The punch lis constantly held up by means ot' a spring, so that the saw can be freely fed, and is, when the required toot'his on the anvil, brought down by suitable mechanism-to set cach tooth. y

The punch has a polygonal shank, so that it can, by means of a set-screw or pin, bc prevented from turning automatically when inoperation.

A, in the drawing, represents a block, of suitable size'and "shape, made of cast iron or other suitable matcrial, in such nl manner that it can be easily fastened to a table or any other suitable support. y

'lhe surface of the block A is smooth and level, except in front, where it forms an inclined platform, a.

To the highest part of this Vplatform a is hinged or otherwise attached ,a swinging plate, B, whichfcrms the support of the saw to be set.

C .is a screw, put through the iront part of the platform a, and swveilod to the plate B. By its means 'the plate B canbe adjusted up and down, so as tc hold the saw in any inclined position. Tho set of the snw is thus Aregulated by means of the'plate Bund screw C.' D is a slotted plate, held, bymeans of screws Injupon the level portion of the block A. It-is provided with an upward-projecting ledge, c', in front, andiserves to adjust the position of the saw as regards the length of tooth to be set. I

E represents the anvil. The same een be made of a separate piece of ste'el, and be inserted in the block A, as shown at thejunction of the inclined und level planes of the same. I

Behind the anvil E is formed, in the bl'pel: A, a. hollow or socket, for the reception of the shank of the punch F, On the'uppcr partl oi` this punch is formed a series of projecting ribs, dd, of diiferent thicknesses,

asshown in fig. A'por'tion of or the whole shank of the punch may be madepolygonnl, as shown, the num- Iber of sides corresponding Vto the number oi ribs cl on the upper part of' euch punch; or other means may be employed in connection with a set-screw or pin, c, to prevent the punch from turning in its socket without' preventing its up-and-:lown motion. l

The punch rests on and is held up by a spring,f, as shown in iig. 1. V When a tooth of' a saw to be set is placed upon the anvil, the punch is brought down with a suitable degree of' force, and is thon at once automatically raised again by the springj,y so that the rib is-not in the way while the saw is being laterally displaced.

For teeth of diiferent width, the punch is first adjusted by being turned in the-socket, si as to bring e. rib

of therequired thickness into working position.

A sere\v,'(}, with'a head, g, of inverted conical form, is or may be applied to the block A, in the manner shownin fig. 1, tn guide narrow saws, vwhirh could'not conveniently be held in Aplace with the ngers.

The narrower the saw, the lower will 'this' screw G be sot, so as to form .a support for the back edge of the saw.l

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-' -The construction .and arrangement of block A., swinging table B, screw G, adjustable plateD, anvil'E, v

punch d, holding-device e, springf, substantially ashereir. described und for the purpose specified.
